Hi, Thanks for this explanation. My next naive question will be: why this function, which is only supposed to list available repositories, does initialize some local only repository stuff in /tftpboot if nothing is in there? Because of the usage of online repositories, i would like this function (or another) to just give back an empty list; this allows one to choose how to setup the different repositories. In other terms, i am uncomfortable with the idea that this function always setup a local repository when it is supposed to list available repositories (local or online).
Does it make sense for you?
